you can hook your car alarm up to the driving lights so that when the circuit it cut (cut wire) and not grounded the alarm goes off.
jaycar used to have a kit on the shelf but any decent alarm dude should be able to design a system.
david

aluminium hex or 50/20 hollow bar won't rust.
a few guys use this for links, just tap the ends for fittings
david

what about portals for clearance. lockee, have you seen tims portal ute drive ruts with q78's and minimal wheel spin where obc trucks on 38's get stuck.
david

most aftermarket quality car alarms have additional 'triggered' contact switches that can be rum through a lighting circuit, eg driving lights, brake lights even atached to the earth/negative pin on a trailer socket.
once lights or trailer detached and circuit broken alarm sounds.
obviously this ...

volvo portals have been engineered on at least 1 county here in vic, with q78 swampers and front 3 link.
done by bill (portalrover (doesn't post here anymore :cry: ))
internals very similar to rover gear, but stronger because the gear reduction at the hub end :roll: increases torque there, not at ...

long range automotive make sill tanks for 90's and 110's they are profiled up on the wings for clearance around the sills. fillers can go just behind the rear door. can use just one filler and a transfer pump.
i remember the tanks were 70 litres, drivers side (no toolbox) 60 litres passenger side ...

different turbo, turbo manifold, timing/front cover, inlet manifold, positioning of alt, a/c cond, p/s pump.
but that gear should be in good nick if you only injested a small amount of water.
while the turbo manifold is off, have it drilled and tapped for a thermocouple to tune later.
as always have ...

for guys that are worried about bottoming out shocks instead of bumpstops, bill showed me a trick years ago.
it involved fully extending the shock and running a texta mark around the body.
then fully compress the shock and run a texta mark around the body.
follow this with measuring the middle ...

race brakes in melb. yarraville.
they make to your length on the spot, adr approved.
you could possibly send old ones down?? and get same but longer.
or they could copy my 94 200 tdi ones (braided,extended)
david.
if interested pm for no.

toy 60 series rear leafs all round are an option.
long, cheap and a big bush for flex.
does help they are dirt cheap from the wreckers.
unless you soa they will fit the diffs easily with some trickery.
david

lt95, adaptors can be had second hand pretty cheap. strong enough but only 4 speed. at least you know it fits easy enough.
david

ask for parts price and installed price at fred smith, toorak tractor, anthony johnson(british 4wd).
david.
there is always arb, j-mac or possiblt pro locker with maxi axles.

the best 6x6 was bill larmans, should be vid off it around somewhere.
it also had bullbar and belly wheels for climbing over 1m diameter logs :cool:
he did a magazine shoot years ago and when they suggested a undercarriage shot he gently rolled it onto the side :lol:
very cool looking 110 (or one ...

andersons landrover parts, they have some ex army stuff as well. thay allways advertise in those 4wd for sale picture books. they have a constant add that says isuzu bellhousing for sale poa$.
ken, did chris have a bellhousing from the army 110 he wrecked or is that the one that went into swaggi ...

i saw a good set up of 130 rear (outer springs) with poly airs. looked good with onboard air and a gauge. i used to have a 93 110 with 200 tdi and steel tray, canvas sides and 3m roofrack. had king springs with 2 inch lift and constant extra 150 kg's.

ok when tray mostly empty, flex on ramp maxed ...

solder/braze????:P
will have to check with the engineer.
stud is 4140 so as long as it cools by itself material integrity will stay.
david

anybody got ideas about a permanent threadlocker stronger than loctite 270??
the threadlocker will be used to locate a nut on a stud where the thread changes size 20mm unc to 22mm unc.
engineer says i am not allowed to weld the nut to shaft (undercutting thread, surface raisers yada yada)
it will ...

no sweat thanks bush, i've got a shop machining up the threads. found a place that is supplying 4140 and machining cheaper than bohler were supplying the solid bar to me go figure
david

maybe joe at 4play. he only does engineered work though and is now very selective about jobs. google or ask in the zuk section.
have a crack yourself?? all of the bracketry can be bought new from snake or surerior eng.
one trick i have learnt from soa's is to have the standard packs reset lower, do ...

any wheel place like eastern wheel works or ajax should do this job.
i like the eww stuff, proven over many obc's
56780790 i think
$240 each last time i enquired for 16 x 8
david

sometimes i hate my tdi
used to have a carby p76 v8 in a swb s 111.
just refused to go in a straight line off road unless there was ruts.
unfortunately i drove it like that. its off in nauru now.
david

i'll beat that price and mine will be adjustable in length for pinion angle.
will also do straight arms for people if necessary.
(and non adjustable)
will only be painted, i'm not into bling
david

don't use big tyres, don't use locker, use small axles as fuses, then you won't bend arms or chassis mounts
david

eastern wheel works 56780790
the strongest wheel. most obc rovers use their wheels
(if they haven't gone nissan yet )
procomp do a fake beadlock steely that is very strong because of the nature of the extra ring. looks half decent as well.
david.

got to get stuff back from the machiners, i'm doing a batch run to work out price.
i figurred out real quick you can't thread 4140 at 22mm coarse and expect the die too last :oops: :roll:
threads have to be screw cut on large lathe to be accurate and true. ;)
getting fab work done by professionals ...

if you can wait 4 weeks i will have 40mm (10mm wall) adjustable length trailing arms for sale at a decent price. 4140 pins and cranked to relieve bush bind .
just give me a few weeks to finish the product.

i quite like the 2000(aprox) td5 defender. they sell for 20k.
you get td5 without traction control and abs wich suits me fine.
still got sals rear. i'm sick and tired of fixing stuff on the fender thats worn out or broke from old age.
some people bag the td5, i don't mind it. plenty of easy mods ...

110 calipers with vented rotors would be a good start then. ( slotted for the bling factor)
david

you do have 110 calipers and not rangie calipers?? (110 bigger, if they're solid discs, spacers can be used for vented option.)
like they said about vented, slows down fade, good for towing.
braided ss lines give better pedal feel and more direct brake pressure.
toorak tractor (VIC) have had 2 rover ...
